I couldn't agree more. I have never used a Bluetooth device that didn't have connection issues at least daily. And that's not even taking into account the madness of pairing a device with multiple other devices (e.g. phone & PC) or the fact that you can't use USB and Bluetooth at the same time, because USB3 jams the 2.4GHz frequency. If USB and Bluetooth are going to be mutually exclusive, I know which one I'm going to pick. (But that doesn't mean that making USB3 jam 2.4GHz WiFi & BT wasn't an idiotic design choice, so much so that I wonder if it wasn't an intentional attempt at killing competition.)

Do you mean wireless USB3 (is that a thing?), or that the USB3 copper cables leak that much interference?

  Apparently USB3 host implementations cause problem in some early first generation products that also internally implement Wifi and BT. As in, they are not internally shielding the two from each other. This is largely a problem on Apple products due to their "creative" way of designing hardware internally, but not limited to Apple only.

  The latter. I'm not sure if it's the cables or the circuitry in the devices, but most of my USB3 devices emit enough 2.4GHz noise when plugged in to prevent Bluetooth or WiFi from working with at least a few feet from the device. (5GHz WiFi is unaffected, of course)
